It's not often that the fight game is more forgiving than the rest of life. When it comes to rematches, though, it sometimes is.

Fighters occasionally get a chance that the rest of us dream about at some point in our lives -- to make up for something that happened in the past.

Winnipeg, Canada's Joe Doerksen will get such a chance Saturday at the UFC's first event in Canada. He'll try to avenge a 2005 loss to Jason MacDonald when they meet in a middleweight bout at Montreal's Bell Centre.
